"Name a famous Boston athlete, and you've probably seen them yelling "we all we got, we all we need" in Patriots hype videos over the past few weeks. David Ortiz, Jayson Tatum, Randy Moss, Jaylen Brown, and Ty Law are saying it. Mark Wahlberg is saying it. The videos show firefighters in uniform saying it. There are signs on the highway beaming the phrase in orange letters as local drivers are reminded to drive safely."
""But, I mean, that's what it is. Nobody was expecting us to make it this far. Wasn't nobody really watching the Patriots. But, we knew the guys we had in the locker room and we knew the work that we put in all year." Diggs credits his teammates with inspiring him to spread the message. They were underdogs on the road against the Buffalo Bills during Week 5."
""Being here gave me the motivation, being here gave me that saying," Diggs said. "I feel like I owed it to my team and I feel like in that very moment that nobody believed in us. We went into Buffalo, a very hostile environment with a great team and I felt like my teammates needed to hear that.""
A rallying phrase — "we all we got, we all we need" — spread across Boston, appearing in hype videos featuring athletes, celebrities, firefighters, barbershops, trains, and highway signs. Stefon Diggs introduced the line during a passionate pregame speech before a Week 5 road game at Buffalo when the Patriots were 2-2 and needed momentum. Teammates embraced the sentiment as an expression of locker-room confidence and collective work ethic. The Patriots won that Buffalo game and proceeded to win 15 of their final 16 games, turning a doubted roster into a sustained winner.
